  Hey Mike,

  Looking through your sig line reminds me of that old Johnny Cash 
song..."it's a 49, 50, 51, 52......":)  I'm not sure if I'd rather have all 
your trucks, or all the rooom you have to store them:)

  Anyway, 3.90's were the most common ratio, with 4.10's being an option.

  BTW, the MAF sensor has been working like a charm.  Hope all's been well on 
your end.

  Mike
